Three days after the 2nd anniversary of us arriving in England, we found a two bedroom brownstone flat with lovely HUGE windows in it, sandwiched between and overlooking two golf courses and less that 2 miles from our workplace. We fell in love with it and took it on the spot. We can't move into it until April 13th-if all goes well- but we're using the time wisely and gathering all of the little things we need to set up housekeeping. We are SO excited!!!

Here's the pretty white & black plaid with bright yellow accents
handbag I bought in a Charity shop (Thrift Shop) for £3 a couple weeks
ago. I'm seriously considering re-purposing it & making it into a
fashionable Camera Bag. I want one, but all the ones I've seen online
are just UGLY brown and green or black canvas bags that remind me of a hiking backpack. This
handbag is made of nice sturdy waterproof upholstery type material that
holds its form nicely and even has a lovely long shoulder strap in
addition to the hand straps. I'm thinking a bit of memory foam inside it
will cushion my camera nicely! Think it would work?

Just a few shots of England thru my eyes...... Have I mentioned how MUCH I love my new Camera? I'm doing Project 365 to try and improve my photography skills. I have the OLYMPUS SP-810UZ which is a fancy step up from a point and shoot and I figure I'll do the P-365 with it for a year, and then maybe graduate up to a Canon with mega adjustments and lenses to try out. Basicly, I'll either inherit Paul's Canon when he upgrades OR I'll get my own Canon or Nikon.

Anyway, I've been doing my P-365 since my birthday on Feb 25th and I've taken a few I'm REALLY proud of. I'll have to do a post on here every month of the best of the best, or top three, or some such thing like that for the month.
